Re: Encina Sludge CsmpQsting Proposal
Dear Roger:
As you‘re aware, the Encina Administrative Agency (EAA) recenl issued a Notice of Preparation for a Draft EIR concerning its proposed cornposting facility on SDGLE owned property imediatc
west of the San Marcos Landfill.
For your information, we met with Dick Graff and Bill Hunter t
EAA last week to relay our concerns about their project and discuss our position on it. swmarized as follows: Our comments in that regard are
“he City recognizes the need for a sludge/yard waste cornposting facility of this kind and agrees that UA8:
preferred site lends itself to that pwpsse.
There is a strong probability that yard waste and 0th
organic material from the San ‘Efarcss Landfill will be
co-cornposted with sludge at the proposed facility. Q4 solid-waste activities (i.e., buyback center) could oc there as well. This likelihood necessitates land use
regulation by a single jurisdiction, which would not 1 possible if the site was to remain in the County.
Given the above, and because the City of San Xarcss w( bear the brunt of impact associated with yet another
undesireable land use, we would seek annexation of thc site to the City as a condition to staff support of t%
cornposting psoject. This would enable local control/
conditioning of the project by the City, through the
pennit process, in a manner consistent with our regulakion of the landfill site. - Without annexation of the site, we would $e unable to
support the project and would, in fact, be forced int
position of adamant oppsition.

- We view this project as being integrally related to th
range of solid waste issues involving the San Marcos
f Landfill. This is especially true given the likelihoo
of a transfer of waste materials between that site and the sludge composting facility.
Given the above,.we would request the County's support and
assistance in annexing the affected site to the City of San Marcos, with EAA serving as applicant. We have no desire to : FAA's ambitious schedule for this project. Accordingly, we believe that evaluation of any impacts associated with annexa1 and rezone of the property is best accomplished through EAA's pending DEIR. This expansion in scope will require ame~dment EAA's Notice of Preparation--we will be commenting to that ef. in our response to that doc*ment and would request the County
the same in support of our position.
Again, the City must necessarily oppose this or any other was'
facility which abuts, but is not a part of, our jurisdiction. Annexation of the SK&E site would ensure local control of thi proposed sludge cornposting facility and would very likely enal our support for such a project, provided expected impacts CQU.
We would appreciate your prompt consideration of this matter (
look forward to your reply. If you have any questions regard
the above, please feel free to give me a call.

Re: Proposed Revision to the City of Carlsbad Sphere of
Mayor Lewis;
The City of San Marcos is concerned over Agenda Bill Item 10.62:
its ultimate ramifications to the City of San Marcos. Before tl
City of Carlsbad takes any action relative to a revision tb the
Carlsbadls Sphere of Influence you should consider several impoi facts that may have a bearing on your decision.
First and foremost, the City of San Marcos has been working wit1
LAFCO staff to include the subject area shown on your attached n in a comprehensive amendment to the entire City of San Marcos si of influence, which affects several areas within the San Marcos
service area. The City of San Marcos did not take a haphazard
approach to the City's proposed sphere changes, but is addressin
all sphere changes relative to the entire City perimeter. The C
of San Marcos is tentatively scheduled to submit ita application
the subject area in July. It appears that the City of Carlsbad'
proposal does not look comprehensively at the entire City of Carlsbad's sphere of influence but reacting to a limited area an
not supported by technical findings or facts.
At the May 2, 1990 Encina Solids Advisory Committee Councilman
Larson never mentioned that an agenda bill regarding the annexat
of property which should properly be in San Marcos was being
considered. Rather he indicated a ttpassivett stand on Carlsbad's
behalf just in case neither the County nor San Marcos conditions
were acceptable. Now the Carlsbad City Council is pursuing an
agenda item without giving any notification of the matter to tho1
jurisdictions most affected.
The reasons that the subject area should be included within the 1
of San Marcos sphere of influence are as follows:

Description of Santa Fe Irriqation District
The Santa Fe Irrigation District became a member agency of the San Diego County Water Authority (CWA) in 1948 and is governed by an independently elected Board of Directors. The district covers an area of 10,200 zcres and serves the unincorporated communities
of Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe. Approximately 16,000 people are provided wirh water within the district. In 1980, 5,307 service connections were in use.
Santa Fe Irrigation District provides retail water throughout the
district by purchasing half of its water from the County Water
Aufhority and half from the City of San Diego (Lake Hodges).
Both sources are treated in a filtration plant jointly owned by
the San Dieguito Water District and the Santa Fe Irrigation
District, Santa Fe's entitlement to treatment capacity is 55
percent or 14.35 mgd.
Description of San Diequito Water District
The San Dieguito Water District became a member agency of the
County Water Authority in 1948 and is governed by an independently
elected Board of Directors. The district covers an area of 5,637
acres and serves the unincorporated communities of Cardiff,
Encinitas and Leucadia. Approximately 30,000 people live within
the service area of the district. In 1983, the district had
8,750 active water connections.

The district receives water from local runoff to Lake Hodges i
the San Diego County Water Authority. Within a given year, 6(
100 percent of the water used within the district is supplied
the C0unt.y Water Authority, with the remainder purchased from
City of San Diego (Lake Hodges) .
Descripti,on of Olivenhain Municipal Water District
The Olivenhain Municipal Water District was formed in 1959 anc
became a member agency of the CWA at that time, The district
governed by a five-member independently elected Board and COVE
an area sf 28,000 acres. The water district serves portions c
the unincorporated communities of Olivenhain, Leucadia, Cardij
Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, and Encinitas, and portions of
Cities of Escondido, San Marcos, Carlsbad, and San Diego. Thc
populaticln within the service area of the district is about
25,000. In 1983, 8,000 water connections were in use.
The district receives all of its water supply from the County
Water Authority. Maximum water delivery sf the water district
6,000 acre feet per year. The district has 14 storage reservc
two pump stations, and 250 miles of pipeline.
Analysis of Issue Areas
The spheres of influence proposed by the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the San Dieguito Water District and Olivenhain Munic
Water District are shown on Figure I. The proposed spheres ar primarily based on topography, proximity of existing facilitic and service plans. Because the agencies generally agreed on common sphere boundaries using many of the same factors your Commissio'n must consider in reviewing spheres, this report wil focus on issue areas that need additional clarification.
Issue Area 1
The proposed sphere for the Santa Fe Irrigation District is
coterminous with existing district boundaries with two excepti
One area where the proposed sphere is less than district bound
is located along the district's eastern. boundary where water
service could be provided more economically by the Olivenhain
Municipal Water District (see Area 1 on map), Olivenhain curr
serves the territory by contractual agreement with the land
owners. The area consists of approximately 80 acres and is
developed with several single-family residences, Low density
residential use (1 du/2 acres) is planned for the area accordi
to the San Dieguito Community Plan. Representatives of the 01
and Santa Fe Districts agree to the inclusion of this territor.
in Olivenhain's sphere.
w w LAFCO Spheres of Influence - Santa Fe Irrigation District, San Dieguito
J-une 4, 1984
Page Four
Water District, and Olivenhain Municipal Water District
Issue Area 2
The Santa Fe proposed sphere is larger than current district
boundaries near the San Elijo Lagoon (see Area 2 on map). This
territory is under private ownership and is currently within the
Olivenhain Municipal Water District. However, the Santa Fe
District already has water lines extended to the area, and Olivenhai dices not. Representatives of Olivenhain Municipal Water District
2ind Santa Fe Irrigation District agree to the inclusion of the
territory in Santa Fe's sphere because Olivenhain does not have plans to serve the area.
Issue Areas 3, 4, and 5
The proposed sphere for the San Dieguito Water District is less
than the current district boundaries at three areas along the
border with Olivenhain Municipal Water District (see Areas 3 ,
4, and 5 on map), The elevation, gradient, and placement of
existing water lines make it more feasible for Olivenhain to
serve the subject territory. Most of the territory is currently
in agricultural use requiring irrigation water. Olivenhain
currently serves Areas 3 and 4 under a contractual arrangement and
has a pipeline that can serve Area 5. The predominant land use
designations allow low density residential use (2 du/acre).
Representatives of the San Dieguito and Olivenhain Water Districts
concur with the inclusion of this territory in Olivenhain's
proposed sphere.
Issue Area 6
Properties lying between Crest Drive and El Camino Real between
the San Dieguito Water District and Olivenhain Municipal Water
District have been designated by the Districts as a special study
area (see Area 5 on map) e This designation is used because San
Dieguito and Oliverihain have water lines in the vicinity and both
could provide water services. Approximately 50 percent of this
area is developed with residences currently receiving water
service from either Olivenhain or San Dieguito. A determination
as to which district could best serve future development cannot
be made until access issues are resolved during the development
review process. Upon resolution of these issues in the future,
the sphere could be established accordingly. The community plan
for the area would allow densities ranging from 2-2.9 dwelling
units per acre.
Issue Area 7
The San Dieguito Water District's proposed sphere contains about
100 acres near the San Elijo Lagoon that is not currently within
the water district's boundaries (see Area 7 on map) - This territory

and much of the lagoon is within the Olivenhain Municipal Watt
District; however, Olivenhain has indicated that it has no pl:
to serve the area. A substantial portion of the lagoon is he: under public ownership by the County of San Diego and State 0: California and does not require water service. Only those pal that are under private ownership and within close proximity tc San Dieguito's water lines are included in San Dieguito's pro&
sphere. Representatives of the San Dieguito and Olivenhain Di agree with the inclusion of the territory within San Dieguito'
sphere.
Issue Areas 8 and 9
The Olivenhain proposed sphere is less than existing district
boundaries to the north near San Marcos Creek and to the east
near Lake: Hodges (see Areas 8 and 9 on map). These areas are
currently vacant but are designated for medium density resider
uses (1 ciu/2,4,8 acres) in the San Dieguito Community Plan. 1
hydraulic: gradient of these areas would prevent Olivenhain frc
extendinq water lines to serve future development. The San
Marcos County Water District and Rincon del Diablo Municipal
Water District have indicated that their districts could provj
water service to future development in Areas 8 and 9, respecti
Issue Area 10
The proposed Olivenhain Municipal Water District sphere is
c0terminc)u.s with existing district boundaries south of Questhz
Road (see Area 10 on map). This area is also within the soutk. portion of the City of San Marcos and the San Marcos County Ws
District. Olivenhain provides water to the landfill operatior
located i.n this area and the San Marcos County Water District
will provide wastewater treatment service after the landfill E
is equipped with an energy cogeneration facility,
The City of San Marcos Planning Department indicated that the
sphere as; proposed by the Olivenhain Water District overlaps c
territory and could impede future attempts for a city/district
reorganization. Representatives from the Olivenhain Municipal Water Dis,trict and the San Marcos County Water District, howev
have indicated that a reorganization is neither planned nor
anticipated within the time frame of the sphere (10-15 years).
Because the San Marcos County Water District is currently prep
a draft .sphere, LAFCO staff recommends that Area 10 be designa
a special. study area. The Olivenhain sphere for Area 10 would
therefore be established along with the determination of the S
Marcos County Water District sphere.

Page Six
Water District, and Olivenhain Municipal Water District
Issue Area 11
Territory east of A1isi.o Canyon Road is currently in the Olivenhain M.unicipa1 Water District and the Santa Fe Irrigation District
(see Area 11 on map), Santa Fe provides water to one residence
in the territory and nay discontinue water service in the future.
Clivenhain does not presently provide water to this territory,
but may provide it upon a reorganization of the affected territory.
Because the Saniza Fe Irrigation District and the Olivenhain
Municipal Water Districts are currently reviewing the feasibility
of a reorganization, representatives of both water districts have
requested this area be designated a special study area.
Conclusion
The sphere of influence boundaries proposed by the Santa Fe
Irrigation District, San Dieguito Water District, and the Olivenhain
Municipal Water Eistrict are the result of numerous discussions
among representatives of the affected water districts, other agencies, and LAFCO staff. During the discussions, the Districts
identified territory that should be either included or excluded
from future service areas. The identification of these areas was
based on topography, proximity of existing facilities, and service
plans. In determining the recommended spheres for these three water
districts, staff has therefore focused on minor service area adjust-
ments that could improve water service to district residents. Staff
has recommended adoption of the spheres as proposed by each of the water districts, with the exception of Area 10, which staff
recommends be designated a study area.
Copies of the proposed spheres showing the territory where service
area adjustments are likely to occur in the future were referred to
all potentially affected agencies. Except for tFe City of San Marc05
comment regarding Area 10, no other comments in objection to the proposed spheres have been received by staff. As previously discussc
the proposed spheres of influence for the Santa Fe Irrigation Distric
San Dieguito Water District, and the Olivenhain Municipal Water
District represent an evaluation of the Districts' ultimate boundaric
and service area, based on the factors your Commission must consider.

LAND USE The proposed General Plan Amendment and
Specific Plan, if adopted, would make a total
of 672 acres of land available for research, light industrial, and commercial services uses. A (+)lo2 - acre portion of this total would be designated as oper, space. Approximately 1,100 residential units Hill not be built in this South planning area as a result of the elimination of residential land use designations. A limited number of residences in the County (Rancho Vista Estates and 4 lots located south of "8" Street) directly bound the project site and .may experience incompatible land use conditions. Agricultural land use will be phased out as the Business Research Park develops.
AESTHETI CS/VI SUAI, QUALITY The existing semi-rural image (rolling hills
under agricultural use) will be transformed with development of the Vista Business Research Park. To develop industrial sized parcels, substantial grading may occur. The development
I of streets and other utilities necessary to serve the site will create a more urbanized atmosphere. Visual Impacts on surrounding residential land use will occur (ie. elimination of scenic corridors).
GEOLOGY, SOILS, The geotechnical study concludes that there are SEISMIC HAZARDS no geotechnical related prolalens which would
preclude development of the s're as presently proposed. The primary areas of concern from 8 geotechnic standpoint are:
0 potential slope stability problems relatec to landsliding, faulting, and the sedimentary-granitic non-conformities cf the site.
0 the presence of potentially expansive soils,
0 the potential presence of relatively deer deposits of compress ib?C~~aatfe~t~~od~.~e~t

0 Development of the Vista Business and Resear Park will result in significant losses agricultural land, production, employment a income. Precise estimates of these losses a not provided here since the personal financi records of property owners in the study ar would have to be reviewed to make the estimates. Based on countpide statistic averages, the conversion of 400 agricultur acres to urban uses could potentially result the loss of 100-250 full-time equivalent je and production and income losses $500,000-$1,000,000 annually, inc ludi
secondary economic effects and assumi "highest and best" agricultural uses of the 1 ands.
WATER RESOURCES, DRAINAGE, Water Quality Impacts are likely to be mc
WATER QUALITY significant during grading operations. Loss soil sediment will contribute to the sedimc load of local streams and may eventually rel the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon. Impacts groundwater appear to be minimal or . groundwater in the planning area is genera of poor quality due to limited precipitat and the use of imported water for irrigat and does not meet the quality requiremc criteria as established by the Califori Department of Health for domestic servic Impacts on water resources are expected occur with completion of the Central Arizc
will reduce the quantity of water available the Metropolitan Water District which ser' the project area.
B I 0 LOG I CAL RESOURCES Expected biologicif; impacts include si ltat
of local creeks and Aqua t;fed:snda Lagoon; l(
of native grassland, old field, Oak Woodla!
and scrub habitat; loss or displacement of t breeding pair of White-tailed Kite; and loss
a Grasshopper Sparrow population. Impacts sensitive plants include loss of up to percent of the site population of Brodi filifolia, a rare and endangered plant speci
and loss of about 50 percent of the Adolp cal ifornica population.
ARCHAEOLOG I CAI- RESOURCES A total of ten prehistoric arckaeologica? si
were found within the boundaries of the st area. (A through J) Seven of the sites h been previously recorded and registered at
San Diego Museum of Man and/or San Diego St University. A total of three of these si have been test excavated by Westec Services

no further work was recornended at two of the sites. Westec has also compiled a complete
history of the Williams' house located at our
Site A. One archaeological site was discovered just outside the western boundary of the property at the extreme northern end of our study area. This is a light scatter of metavolcanic flakes. ?he site will be registered at the Museum of Man and San Diego State University but will not be discussed in depth in this report as it is not within the project boundaries.
The sites in the study area fall into five different categories when viewed in terms of potential adverse impacts: (1) mitigation already completed, (2) partial mitigation completed, (3) located in projected open spaces where no impacts should occur, (4) located in areas of potential impacts, and (5) insignificant sites requiring no mitigation of impacts .
PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES Numerous fossil localities have been delineated
both on and adjacent to the project site. Numerous exposures contain a rich oyster fauna
and oyster fragments are scattered over a large portion of the area. Some exposures also contain casts and fragments of other species. This fauna tends to be distributed in layers within the exposures. No indications of vertebrate remains were encountered on the site. No fossils were encountered in the Santiago Peak Volcanics or in the granitic rocks on the site. There is no question that the collection of any faunas will be of scientific value and will help to understand the Eocene paleontology and paleogeography of the Eocene of northern San Diego County. If the recommended mitigation measures as required
by the Specific Plan development conditions are followed, the development of the site will have no adverse effect on the paleontologic resources of the area.
TRAF F I C C IRCULAT ION The proposed land use reclassification (residential to light industrial) dill not- substantially alter conditions that would be created by the existing general plan use
(residential mix). A traffic analysis and comparison of traffic volumes indicates the proposed zoning would lessen the total traffic volumes thereby lessening the total traffic impacts of the project area. The proposed

reclassification of this area will develo traffic attractor. The greater volumes traffic will be inbound in the morning outbound in the evening. This is opposite an area generating residential traffic, wt develops outward trips to ernployme recreation, and shopping areas, in that it v
attract traffic inward toward an emplop area. Therefore, traffic impacts on adjac cities would be less than if it were develc as a residential area. The primary result rec1assificat.m would be a more balar inbound and outbound peak hour traffic flob major facilities in the area. However, project vicinity nonetheless will experienc
substantial increase in average daily tral and will likely impact existing streets out! the Specific Plan Boundaries. Also, proposed cul-de-sacing of Grand Avenue w( eliminate one of three direct connect between Poinsettia Avenue and Sycamore Avenuc

such that they are widely dispersed in space
and time and do not significantly impact any unique receptor site. Rather, these emissions mix with those from hundreds of similar develcpments in the basin. While the regional impact from any single development is incrementally small, the cumulative impact from
all such growth ultimately causes a large portion of the basin's air quality problem. Additional temporary emissions result during construction and from combustion of fossil fuels to generate electricity and supply other project energy demands, but these are usually much less important than mobile source emissions.
PUBLIC UTILITIES
(A) Sewer The estimated waste water flow from the proposed Vista Business Research Park is 4,020 equivalent Dwelling Units (EOU's). The remaining area witbin the south planning area may utilize another 4,956 EDU's. Over a 10 year development period for the South Planning Area it appears the Vista Sanitation District has sufficient capacity at Encina Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) to service
a73 of the South Planning Area. However,
I sewzge collection and transmission facilities are not presently available to the majority of the parcels within the proposed project.
(6) Water Until industrial and fire flow demands are
known within the South Planning Area, exact
information as to the impact of the study. area cannot be determined. However, the District's current water distribution % system in the Poinsettia Avenue area has been sized based
upon present residential zoning. Also, very little reservoir storage capacity exists for fire flow storage for most of the proposed Vista Business Research Park. A proposed 3.3 million gallon reservoir in the vicinity of the 422 Melrose project will probably be too low in elevation to serve the industrial park by gravity flow. The existing one million gallon reservoir on,Virginia Place is high enough in elevation to supply fire flow storage by
gravity flow; however, this reservoir also acts as a regulatory reservoir for the Tri-Agencies Pipeline.

LAND USE The Vista Business Research Park Specific Plan will implement strict development standards establishing distinct site identity and maintaining a continuity throughout the park. Special setbacks, landscape requirements, open space, energy conservation measures, and protection of natural resources, etc. will be assured through the development conditions of the Specific Plan. Elimination of residential land use within the specific plan area will eliminate incompatibility problems related to the Palomar Airport Approach. The Specific Plan will require landscaped buffer zones around existing residential zones. Other mitigation measures for various impacts on the land (agricultural, etc. are addressed in the following respective sections of this report.
AESTHETICS/VISUAL QUALITY The visual impact of the proposed industrial-business/research park on the
' surrounding areas should be un-obstrusive in light of the many environmental and aesthetic controls implemented by the Specific Plan. Large areas of Open Space and extensive landscaping (twenty percent (20%) of each building site) will dictate a high quality development. The Specific Plan for the Vista 8usiness/Research Park impleients the 1976 General Plan goal of providing a carefully controlled industrial development in a manner calculated to preserve and enhame the natural and attractive semi-rural healthful environment and atmosphere Jf the City u; \;ish.
GEOLOGY, SOILS, Detailed geotechnical investigations, special SEISMIC HAZARDS grading procedures, removal and recompact ion of a1 luvium, deep watering, deep foundat ions, compacted fill, slope planting, and detailed
subsurface investigations per the preliminary Geotechnic Investigation for the Vista Business Research Park will mitigate geotechnic concerns. (See Condition 5-7)

WATER RESOURCES, DRAINAGE, To prevent or limit siltation of the Aqua WATER QUAL I TY Hedionda Creek and Lagoon, extensive protect
measures are required as a condition
development in the Specific Plan (See Speci Plan Conditions S-5, a-9).
Mitigation measures for expected wa shortages are centered around wa conservation efforts a5 detailed in the body this report and implemented by the Speci Plan, It should also be noted that the Vi Irrigation District receives approximately of its water from importation, while remaining 50% comes from VID faciliti Therefore, depending on the quantity of local water supply at any given time, suct resource may lessen the severity of shorta
of imported water.
BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The Vista Business Research Park Specific f shall require the following measbres a: condition of development. (See Condition 5-4:
1) All creek areas designated on the spec. plan map as open spate shall be retained natural open space with an appropriate hab7 protection zone. This is intended to pres the riparian associated habitats which 1 been described in the 1981 Biological Survej valuable to resident and migrating wildlife.
2) Where designated on the specific plan n the creek habitat shall be enhanced selectively planting native riparian ti (willows, cottonwoods and sycamores).
3) Portions of the Eucalyptus grove in Northeast corner of the project site designated on the specific plan map shall retained in the overall landscape plan.
4) All open space areas as designated on Specific Plan Map shall be reserved by space easement.
5) Any and all portions of the Haul (Blueline Road) or other asphalt roads, wi any open space zone, shall be removed and open space restored to a natural condi prior to issuance of building permit fo particular building site.
6) All garbage within the open space
shall be removed pr’or to building pe issuance.

TRAFFIC CIRCULATION New streets and improvement of existing strc
will be required to serve the Vista Busir Research Park. Development Condi tionr of Vista Business Research Park require that public streets shown on the Specific Plan (I Drive, La Mirada Drive, Grand Avenue, Street, and Poinsettia Avenue), serving particular lot or building site, be dedicz and improved prior to Building Per
Issuance. The Specific Plan also implement traffic signalization fee, requiring develol
to pay the full cost of traffic signalizal for the Vista Business Research P: (Condition S-11) Any traffic impacts adjacent cities cannot be mitigated.
ACOUSTICS/NOISE Any future residential development adjacent any arterial, collector, or minor collel street within the Vista Business Research I should be located away from noise expo(
levels in excess of 65db(A) or incorpo noise control measures such as sound w (noise barriers) and/or architectural acou treatment. (Condition G-9)
Truck traffic associated with the propi comnercial/light industrial development shc avoid using local residential collel streets. The best access for trucks t:, project area would be State Highway Sycamore Avenue, Melrose Avenue south Sycamore Avenue, and Palomar Airport Road.
C L IMATE Measures which will be taken to mitigate adverse impacts of urbanizations as they af the planning area's climate include
following measures as incorporated in Specific Plan:
(a) retention of a significant area of nat open space (+lo2 acres plus additional space area w7thin the Flelrose 422 Zpec Plan).
(b) encouragement of the use of native an drought resistant plant types.
(c) limitation on the height, placervent, density of structures within

AIR QUALITY &cause much of the project impact derives frc the automobile whose emissions behavior beyond the control of developers or 1oc2
regulatory agencies, there is little potentia for effective emissions mitigation. Certai 'standard'' transportation-related tactics SUC as carpooling and transit use are to b encouraged in development plans consistent wit
RAQS aims in these directions, but even unde
optimistic assumptions of a1 ternatc transportation utilization, these measures ca! only mitigate a small fraction of the tota project impact. One RAQS measure that deserve some mention is 1-1, which, at one point, encouraged a mix of land uses to reduce travel
distances and create air quality benefits. T-1 now is aimed more at insuring compatibilitj
between development and air quality plans, but the integrated lan: use concept is perhaps
applicable to the proposed project. So much of North County has become a bedroom cornunity widely separated from employment centers in the
County, commuting distances have increased.
The creation of a major employment base plus
p 1 anned comerc i a? growth in the Oceanside-Escondido Corridor wi 11 contribute somewhat to reducing both VMT and the number of
separate trips undertaken. Such benefits are difficult to measure, but certainly represent ' better compatibility between 'land use and air quality planning than current development patterns. It should also be noted that the Specific Plan for the Business Research Park
encourages development of a transportation management plan. (Condition DS-4c)

Phase I (81-2) covering 575 acres will provide sewer lines in Sycamore Avenue, Imed Drive, and

tion is within the jurisdiction of the
City of Vista and not LAFCO because the
affected resources and public facilities
are or will be within the City limits

The City of Vista has plans to provide the full range of xunici
services t:o the proposed amendment area, except wzter service, would be provided by the Vista Irrigation District. The Vista Department's respons'e time to the amendment area nay initially
preferred levels. However, completion of the planned circulati

response times to acceptable levels. As SuccessOr agency to tl?
Vista Sanitation District, the City of Vista has slifficient sew
treatment capacity to sewer the amendinent area. The City also

The spherc? amendment area currefitly contains one single-family
dence, vacant territory, aRd a range of agricultural uses, incl:
field crops and nursery operations. The Vista Busiress/P.esearc
Specific E'lan approve2 by the City of L'ista would allow light
